After the farce of announcing the imperial edict in the military camp ended, the entire army was still celebrating here.
There are promotions and rewards. For them, these rewards are not enough. Xu Yunyan and Li Dejiao are the only ones left in the camp. As for the four kings, after Zhai Peng was kicked out by Xu Yunyan, the others They all ran out in a hurry, but they didn't dare to stay here and tease Xu Yunyan's beard any longer.
Looking at the quiet camp, Xu Yunyan turned to look at Li Dejia.
"Brother Li is living a good life now, right? He has gained fame."
"Yeah, yeah! I have a reputation."
Li Dejiao scratched his head and smiled darkly after Xu Yunyan said this.
"No, this life is really quite comfortable."
However, after Li Deqiang said this, his face turned a little bitter for a moment, "It's just that at my level, there will always be people in the court who say that I rely on my father's connections, so I want to be sent to another place as an official."
It was just that Li Deqiang told him his plan. Xu Yunyan looked at him, "You have a good idea. It is better to decentralize the official position than to scheming in the court. Although few people will target you, unless he wants to fight with Li Da." A touch from the general.”
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Dejiang looked at him.
"Isn't this a matter of finally snatching a chance to announce the decree? I'd like to ask Brother Li Ying what he should pay attention to as an official and how to benefit the people? Secondly, I haven't seen him for a long time and come to visit."
"Huh? Have you not seen me for a long time?"
Xu Yunyan avoided the important and took the easy. The first one did not say anything to teach Li Dejiao, but asked the second Li Dejiao if he missed himself. Li Deqiang scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Isn't this a polite statement?"
Xu Yunyan was a bit suspicious of seeing a joke.
"Can't I tell the difference between polite words?"
Xu Yunyan looked at him with a look of despair: "It turns out that in Brother Li's heart, I am just a friend to deal with. Everything is just polite words. I know, and I will keep it in mind. No matter what happens in the future, my net worth will be affected." Life, or when I need help, I will be polite to Brother Li."
When Li Dejiang heard Xu Yunyan say this, he knew that he was a little unhappy, and then scratched his head.
"Look, what I said was wrong. I hope Brother Li doesn't mind."
Li Dejiang was here to accompany him, talking about this and that. Xu Yunyan stretched out his hand and looked at Li Dejiang. Li Dejiang was very helpless.
"what?"
"What? Why did I hear that there was one thing I didn't do before I left, but Brother Li did it for me, and he did it quite thoroughly?"
"What?"
Li Dezhai was a little curious at this moment and didn't know what Xu Yunyan was talking about.
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Dejiang pretending to be stupid and looked at him very angry.
"Are you still pretending to be stupid here? Why do I remember that I haven't gone to collect my salary yet? It's all stored in the Ministry of Personnel.
If I hadn't gone out to command the troops, I would have gone to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to collect my salary. I told you this in the courtyard.
I didn't expect that Brother Li's hand was very fast and deft. He took away all the money I had left in the staff department. Tell me, how much money is there? "
"Oh, that's what happened!"
Li Dejiang suddenly realized, "What do I think this is? Didn't I come out of Li's house?"
Xu Yunyan nodded, and Li Dejiang continued to lie.
"Who among us is with whom? We are all brothers. Isn't your money mine? What's mine is yours. It just so happens that I don't have much money now, so I'll use Brother Xu's money to spend it first. Brother Li can't Don’t mind it.”
Li Dejiao said this shamelessly, but Xu Yunyan looked at him with an ugly expression.
"You can spend your money as you like? Why don't you call your wife my wife?"
After Xu Yunyan's half-joking remark, Li Dejiang burst into laughter.
"Okay, as long as Xiaoping is willing, I have no objection."
Xu Yunyan was helpless and finally had to turn it into a sentence.
"I have never seen anyone so shameless."
After Xu Yunyan said these words angrily, Li Dejiang was here laughing.
"No, no, we are good brothers, how can we be so different? As long as you think of it, I will be satisfied."
"Get out of here."
In the end, Xu Yunyan had no choice but to curse Li Dejia.
"I never thought you could be such a dirty person."
Li Dejiang is still here licking his face. If you feel uncomfortable, you hit me on one side of my face, and I'll stick it on the other side for you to hit. As long as you don't get angry, it's okay. You pestered Xu Yunyan for nothing, making Xu Yunyan want to kill him with a knife. he.
Finally, Xu Yunyan ran out of the tent angrily, while Li Dejiao was smiling darkly in the tent.
"Oh, now that I have become an official, and I am still a low-ranking official, I know the importance of this money. If I had known this earlier, I would have taken more money when I was at Duke Wei's residence.
But my old father is also a dignified prince, and he doesn’t have much money in his hands. Apart from keeping enough salary, the rest is used to support the soldiers who died in the battle, hey! It’s still comfortable to spend Brother Li’s money! "
As Li Dejiao said this, he couldn't help but lament that he shouldn't have done anything wrong and wasted a lot of money, and how much he regretted it.
Li Dejiang was knocking on the table here, "If I could be more frugal, I would be able to save 1,800 taels of silver. Why would I be so shameless in searching for silver at that time?"
I don't know whether Li Dejiao's remorse or Li Jing's help to the families of fallen soldiers moved Xu Yunyan. Xu Yunyan snorted coldly and stopped talking to him, and walked away minding his own business.
An imperial edict in Yanmen brought a happy and peaceful atmosphere, while in Luoyang, a letter was delivered by an ordinary postman to Wang Huan, the recorder of the governor's office.
Wang Huan looked at the letter sent from Yanmen in the north and was very curious.
"Did this brother-in-law come to ask for help? This is not like my brother-in-law's style! No matter how miserable and tired he is, he would never do such a thing, right? Is there some kind of trouble that forced him to ask me for help?"
Wang Huan was muttering here, while his wife was reading the letter next to him.
"Husband, since it's from Magistrate Xu, it's better not to speculate. Just open it and take a look. If it's something ordinary, Magistrate Xu won't send you a letter."
Wang Huan's wife can be regarded as a virtuous wife. When Wang Huan was reminded like this, Wang Huan reacted.
"Madam, what you said is very true. If the ordinary things were trivial, he would not write to me."
After thinking about this clearly, Wang Guan picked up Xu Guichang's letter and opened it, but he stood up immediately after reading the content.
This suddenly frightened Wang Huan's wife.
"What's wrong, husband? Did something happen? Why do you look so ugly?"
Seeing Wang Huan's expression changing here and there, and his body trembling, Wang Huan's wife was extremely frightened.
"Did something happen to my husband? If something happened, just tell me. Although I am a woman and shouldn't ask such questions, you and he are related by marriage after all."
After Wang Huan's wife reminded him like this, Wang Huan finally felt a little better and said after taking a long breath. "Good thing, this is a great thing!"
After Wang Huan said this was a good thing, Wang Huan's wife finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's not a complicated disease. I passed by you and saw how excited you were just now, as if you had encountered some huge change. You almost couldn't breathe, but you scared me." broken."
Wang Huan hurriedly hugged his wife over.
"Madam, please look, this is really a good thing! My sister is not dead, not dead.
I didn't expect this time that it was the brother I told you about, Xu Yunyan.
It was he who was ordered to lead the troops to the Northland, where he broke through the Turkic formation, killed tens of thousands of enemy troops, wiped out many Turkic tribes, and rescued Xiao Fei.
Look at this Xiao Fei, who has suffered in the Turks for two years and has finally come back, but it’s just good that he’s back. "
What Wang Huan said here was incoherent, and his wife was a little excited when she looked at him.
"It's great that my sister is back. This sister and her brother-in-law can finally stay together for a long time. This is a good thing. It is really a good thing. Husband, then I will cook some dishes for you and you can drink some wine to celebrate. Fan."
"Okay, thank you madam!"
Wang Huan couldn't be called happy, but just when Wang Huan was drunk during this incident, Luoyang Governor happened to send someone to look for him, and the person who came to him was the Luoyang Governor's housekeeper. He looked at the drunken man. Wang Huan was a little unhappy.
"Wang Shijun, the Governor has invited you. Look, you are drinking like this in broad daylight. What should you do? How should you explain to the Governor?"
This Wang Huan may have drunk too much and was a little careless with his words, but he was still very polite when he spoke.
"I would also like to trouble the housekeeper and the governor to tell you that there is good news in the North. I want to congratulate you. Our brother once again led the troops to defeat the Turks in the North. I am very happy.
Not only did the troops from the north kill tens of thousands of Turks, but they also rescued my sister, the daughter-in-law of the Yanmen County magistrate. I was so happy that I drank a little more wine and asked the governor to take care of me.
I will go to the governor to apologize early tomorrow morning. "
The butler didn't sound arrogant when he heard this, nor did he say anything weird.
Who can command troops in the North, isn't he a big shot? He couldn't afford to offend.
"In this case, Wang Shijun will go to see the governor early tomorrow morning. I will reply to the governor first. If there is really something urgent, I might come to visit you again. At that time, I hope Wang Shijun will pay attention. Don’t be angry.”
The steward of the Governor's Mansion was just transferred from Chang'an City with the Governor. If others don't know it, doesn't he still know it?
It was Li Ying who went to the north.
Soon the housekeeper went back to report to the governor.
The governor knew the name Li Ying. This governor was one of the five-rank officials who fought for the road in the alley next to Zhuque Street when Li Chengqian was newly married.
Li Yingna is the prince's teacher. If he really makes things difficult for someone related to him, and he comes to fix him, he won't be able to express his suffering.
Just now, by chance, he would be promoted to governor, and he would be promoted to one level. When he felt that the sky was high and the birds could fly and the seas were vast, he met someone who was related to Li Ying.
The new governor's plan to keep in touch with everyone was completely ruined. When the housekeeper revealed the relationship between Wang Huan and Li Ying, the governor was frightened.
"What can be done, what can be done.
The prince's teacher went to the north to lead the army and won a great victory. If I give trouble to his brother, where can he help me? There is no way for me to survive.
No, I'd better go see Wang Huan first and express my condolences in person. At the same time, look at what happened in the North. If it is really Li Ying who made great contributions, I will write to His Majesty to ask for credit for him, but I can’t let him hate me. "
